I’ve faced the fact that I can’t fill the void and it will most likely always hurt.

So I talk about him. I include him in the family stories, in holiday cards, in photo albums.

His brother and sister know his name.

They recognize him in pictures and include him in their drawings.

They will grow to understand that they do have an older brother and they carry him in their hearts.
